The event will be hosted by the President and CEO of BMI, Del R. Bryant, and Catherine Brewton, who serves as Vice President of Writer/Publisher Relations. The Gap Band will also be honored with this year’s BMI Icon Award, an award honoring creators of music that have made "a unique and indelible influence on generations of music makers." The Gap Band has had their work sampled by numerous Hip-Hop artists through the years, compiling a catalog that includes such hit songs as "You Dropped a Bomb on Me," "Oops Upside Your Head," "Burn Rubber" and many others. Past honorees include James Brown, Paul Simon, Isaac Hayes, Carlos Santana, Al Green and others. Awards will also be given for Urban Song of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, Producer of the Year and Publisher of the Year. Top urban producers and BMI songwriters whose songs have hit #1 on the Billboard Charts will also be recognized. BMI is a non-profit organization that collects license fees from businesses that use music and then distributes royalties to the music creators and copyright owners. BMI currently represents over 300,000 songwriters, composers and publishers from all genres of music.
